: : : press sample : : :

It's 2019! Well, that may not be anything to get excited about, just yet anyway, but at least we can put 2018 behind us. A new year is always a little bit exciting though, as it brings the potential of change, renewal, and better days. Who couldn't use a few more of those? Better skin could also be on your horizons, especially if you jump on the January Pearlesque Box featuring Modicum Skin Care.

If you missed my last Pearlesque Box posts and are wondering what it's all about, I suggest checking one out (here). It features a bit more info as to what you can expect with a Pearlesque Box subscription (like only organic, and natural products, and a focus on full size products- no wimpy samples) If you're ready...

'Modicum Skin Care was created as a result of my passion for nutrition and wellness, which I have been cultivating my entire life. I professed to my mother at thirteen that I was going to become a vegetarian. She said “Okay, but first you have to read Diet For A Small Planet, so you can understand why you want to be a vegetarian.” My mother stoked my nascent interest in how and what helps our bodies keep themselves balanced. In her fifties she was diagnosed with cancer, but through lifestyle and diet she managed to rid herbody of cancerous cells completely. Her transformation further inspired my perspective on health and our individual power to cultivate it.

A few years ago I had a health scare of my own. While snowmobiling I plunged into a deep crevasse at full speed. I awoke from unconsciousness with several broken bones and lacerations on my face and neck. I worried that my injuries would leave me with permanent nerve damage and scars. Plastic surgery was recommended. During my convalescence, I applied a serum of my own invention based on the fundamentals of plant chemistry. These essential oils and chemical building blocks allowed my skin to rejuvenate naturally, leaving no visible scars—without surgery. I knew I had to share this knowledge with the world. This was the beginning of Modicum.'

Starting with the main product in the box, is the Modicum Skin Care Essential Serum. The serum is a plant-based oil formula that is 'comprised of some of the most medicinal and nutritious plants for the skin.' Like what, you ask? Think helichrysum essential oil, seabuckthorn berry, black cumin, and rose dimiscus oils (just to name a few). The blend packs a punch and is formulated to work wonders on problematic, aging, and damaged skin including those with chronic conditions like acne, excema, and psoriasis.

You likely know I love a little face mist, so I was very pleased to see the Modicum Skin Care Birch Tree Water Spritzer. The replenishing mist revitalizes skin with essential nutrients, promotes cellular regeneration and works to restore skins vitality. Formulated with birch water and hyaluronic acid for continual hydration, MSM (an organic form of sulfur) which promotes the production of collagen and a host of other skin loving extracts (it's truly jam packed with goodness). O mean, it was even features in Vogue magazine, so it has to be decent, right?

Last up, a travel size cutie in the form of the Modicum Essential Cleanser. The cleanser is a gentle, lightly foaming formula that includes argan, apricot, pumpkin, avocado and rose oils (to name a few) that work to cleanse skin without leaving it feeling stripped, tight or dry. Ideal for all skin types, this cleanser also provides anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-bacterial properties.
